GREEN NEWS * Europe - Manufacturers making CO2 progress

Brussels,Belgium -Fleet Europe (UK), by Tim Harrup -9 Nov 2010: -- A report published by Transport & Environment has indicated how successful various manufacturers are in achieving the CO2 emissions reductions targets imposed by the European Commission. This shows that the average of all manufacturers in Europe amounted to a reduction of just over 5% in 2009. The figure is sales-weighted and shows that average emissions during the year in question amounted to 145.7 grams per km. Incitements to purchase less-polluting vehicles (and therefore improve this sales-weighted average) played a part, along with technological advances. The legislation in force requires average emissions of 130 grams by 2015, although individual manufacturers have separate targets according to their model ranges. The figures produced show that in order, Toyota, PSA, Fiat, BMW, Hyundai and Renault are closest to their targets. Toyota and Suzuki recorded the largest drop in emissions in 2009 – 14 grams, or 9.1%, less than in 2008.
